    [SOLVED] Help with Razer Leviathan 5.1 (Optical, Aux or Bluetooth?)

    Hello guys and thanks in advance for any help/input you guys can provide me. I have a Razer Leviathan 5.1 Soundbar which I'm using since I bought it connected through an Optical Cable. Because of a small sound delay (e.g. when I click on any file that produces a sound or start playing...

    [SOLVED] Is the PCIe 3.0 x1 shared with PCIe 3.0x16?

    So what you're saying it's safe to install the USB Expansion Card in the PCIe 3.0 x1_1 and the VGA in the PCIe 3.0 x16_1 correct? The USB will be just on top of the VGA. Also because of the size of the VGA the only slot available besides the PCIe 3.0 x1_1 will be the PCIe 3.0 x1_3 Thanks :)

And the reason I want...

    [SOLVED] New Build and I have only One Question about Storage

    Thanks Jeremy and I really appreciate the inputs. Both ADATA 8200 Pro and HP EX950 were in my radar for a few time but since I live in Brazil the problem with ADATA is that they don't have a local support in here and as for HP I had bad experience with their support and RMA. I thought the same...

    [SOLVED] Seagate FireCuda 520 Heatsink is Need or Not?

    Thanks a lot. I'll do that since I can always buy a heatsink later if need it. One last question. My MOBO has the M.2_1 between the CPU and the PCIEX_16 where I normally plug the GPU and the M.2_2 at the bottom rear of the Mobo. Since I'm going to use the 512 GB for the OS with all the usual...

    [SOLVED] Seagate FireCuda 520 Heatsink is Need or Not?

    According to Tom's Hardware review the Firecuda 520 doesn't come with a heatsink because Seagate assumed the MOBOS will have one preinstalled which is not the case of my MOBO. I just want to make sure I will not need a heatsink and in case I need it if there any one someone could recommend.

    New Build Help Please

    I think I'm almost convinced to buy a new GPU and let the rest of the PC upgrade for the next year. After a quick (not deep) research I end up with the following cards. My main concern is the noise level and most of the reviews I read says that EVGA it's the most silent. EVGA GeForce GTX 1080...

    New Build Help Please

    Thanks, After reading several threads and comparisons about Ryzen vs i7 770K I also think Ryzen is the best option for my use. From what I read so far if I was building a PC for gaming only the i7 7700K would probably be the best option but it seems that there is still a lot of controversy. I...
